Something is waiting for you in the woods.
From October 15 through October 18, Santa Barbara Games is running its very first Voidwood Steam Public Playtest!
This is a Pre-Alpha Playtest, and a small taste of what the team is building. You’ll experience one day and one night in the woods, scavenging during daylight, preparing for what comes after dark, and trying to survive when The Beast begins its hunt.
The team is still deep in development, with a lot more of Voidwood still to come. That also means you may encounter bugs, rough edges, and things that are very much still a work in progress.
For the best experience, bring some friends and use the in-game voice chat. Voidwood is built around communicating with your group… right up until making too much noise becomes a very bad idea.

About Voidwood
Voidwood is a co-op survival horror game for 1-4 players. You and your friends are children trapped in a cursed forest. While daylight lasts, scavenge for supplies, venture farther into the forest, and prepare for what comes after dark. At night, The Beast begins its hunt, tracking every sound you make as you try to escape.
Get out alive. Bring your haul back to camp. Craft new tools, open new paths, and return better prepared to uncover what the forest is hiding.
TALK TO SURVIVE. WHISPER TO STAY HIDDEN.
Your voice is part of the game.
Call out supplies. Warn a friend. Whisper a plan when The Beast is close. Every sound can help your group survive, but the forest is listening too. Make too much noise at the wrong moment, and you may bring danger straight to you.
SCAVENGE BY DAY. SURVIVE THE NIGHT.
Daylight gives you time, not safety.
Search the forest for what you need and decide how far you are willing to push before darkness falls. When night comes, the rules change. Hide, run, and survive the hunt until you find a way out.
Escape with what you collected, and it is yours to keep. Stay too long, and risk losing everything.
THE FOREST CHANGES. CHANGE YOUR PLAN.
Every trip into Voidwood prepares you for the next.
Return to camp with the resources you recover to build and improve your base, craft new tools and equipment, and prepare for the days ahead. Expand your camp, unlock new strategies, and open new paths through the forest.
Changing conditions mean the same plan won’t always work twice. And the farther you go, the more dangerous the forest becomes.
UNCOVER WHAT THE FOREST IS HIDING.
You are not the first children to enter Voidwood.
Search its forgotten places, recover what others left behind, and piece together what happened to the children who came before you. The answers are hidden throughout the forest, if you can survive long enough to find them.
Speak carefully. The forest is listening.
